Wasn't this one 5 minutes after kick off?

Or perhaps he'll get released on a free after sitting behind several keepers who have experience at a far, far higher level. I'm not saying he won't make it. But Conference North or whatever they call it now is the absolute lowest I'd be sending any of our youngsters too, and he's been sent a level below that. I just don't think it's a worthwhile level to play at. He'll have to jump two more leagues to be playing where Raya was on his loan. That's the difference between being in League Two or playing for us. And then he'll still need to jump three more leagues to play for us. I'm not criticising the player or his potential, he came with a decent reputation from City, but I feel comfortable criticising the choice to send him to such a low level. It does also suggest he's very far back in the pecking order for now. Hopefully he does well, and is recalled in January to be loaned to a higher league.

Marine are two leagues below where Southport were though.

Great for Ennis to get off the mark nice and early into his time with us.

Why are we only capable of scoring when they piss us off by scoring tonight? 😂

Hilton at fault for this one too? I have to say I was shocked he was starting, now that we've got our new keeper in. I know Wahlstedt wasn't going to start, but we'd be safe to play Pears knowing we have another senior keeper if he got injured.

No, the LT reporter is just a stupid Dingle.

Sounds like we've finally applied some pressure after the equaliser.

If you're watching it in incognito/secret/private mode or whatever, I don't think it updates. I thought it wasn't updating either (since 6pm) but in a normal tab it works. If that's not fixed it, try a different browser.

Knowing where to be, when, is half the battle as a striker, and he seems to have that knack. I don't remember Gally having a game where he got himself in with as many really presentable chances as Leonard, and he's only just started playing games. Realistically, you're not gonna put every good chance away, but I'd have probably expected him to notch one of those two chances really. The second was trickier though. And his goal was very well taken, harder than the two misses. I hope the two misses didn't undo the confidence boost of the goal. If he has the right head on his shoulders and carries on in this vein, he'll be a very handy player for us this season.

What if we play with ten centre halves?

Thought the goals would hugely boost Leonard and Markanday's confidence. Then Markanday got subbed off and Leonard missed two good chances, so guess we'll see what their character is like going forward. Incidentally I'd have brought Dolan off instead of Markanday, and I'm a fan of Dolan. Guess Hedges only really plays on the right though.

Might not be too long before you are comparing them skill-wise...

Damn, again...that one was a bit harder though. Bound to effect his confidence now you'd think.

Since he came on we've been much further up the pitch.

Terrible miss. Gonna happen though, still a young lad. That's why we still need a proven striker.

Jury out on him for now for sure. Likes to get stuck in, and that will always be appreciated at Ewood (when it doesn't go horribly wrong). But he looks off the pace at the moment. Understandable, hopefully he adapts soon.

One decent stop. Everything else I'd have been fuming if he missed.

West Brom's big lads have hit the deck more than our munchkins.

Think we've made quite a lot of poor decisions at the back and fortunate none have backfired fully yet.

Wow they really are cracking down on time wasting...7 minutes added time! Never seen that in a first half at Ewood without a serious injury.

Be in a lot more trouble if he didn't, so I think the luck came in terms of it missing!

Looked like a vape. Let's blame Totally Wicked.

Would have been a wonderful goal too. His decision making was very good there.

Sounds like an excerpt from 50 Shades.
